Consultation has commenced on the Australia-Germany H2Global Joint Tender.
The H2Global joint tender is a double-sided auction scheme. The scheme is designed to provide supply and demand support to the international renewable hydrogen industry. It will support Australian hydrogen producers to sell their product to European buyers at the highest possible price.
The joint tender aims to:
- bring forward the development of renewable hydrogen projects
- build renewable hydrogen supply chains between Australia and Europe.
The €400 million joint tender is funded equally by the Australian and German Governments. It will:
- give Australian hydrogen producers the opportunity to export to some of the world's largest renewable hydrogen markets
- help to bridge the cost gap between the production cost and sales price
- support a Future Made in Australia.
The joint tender builds on the existing Australia-Germany Energy and Climate Partnership. It will contribute both countries' national hydrogen targets.
We welcome stakeholder feedback on the proposed design of the joint tender outlined in the consultation paper. Consultation will be open until 30 September 2025. Responses can be submitted on our Have Your Say website.
